Found $10K in a purse today and returned it.

[GirlyGymRat]

There's the short summary. Found an old lady's purse in a cart at a grocery store today and opened it to find $10k rolled up, multiple IDs, a phone and police badge for some reason. I called the lady who lost it and she gave me $500 for returning it. As it stands I'm well off but it was tempting to fuck with.

Factors why I didn't take it?

I'm fairly well off as it is

Money isn't very important to my life in general

(Most obvious one) there are cameras everywhere in that parking lot, would be totally moronic to even consider stealing it

My friends (most of whom are way poorer than me) all called me stupid for not taking it but I highly disagree. Honor is important to me as is not accepting easy ways out. Hard work in all aspects is needed to succeed.

You’ve got morals! Good deed and clear conscience and you are up $500!!!!

Since you are well off perhaps consider donating to your favorite charity!
